M S S ... A Fond Remembrance

M S Subbulakshmi, shortly accronymned as MS. I am not such a great follower of carnatic music, even though my grand fatehr is a famous musician who has been a GURU for well known singers like T R Mahalingam, Maharajapuram Santhanam, Soolamangalam Sisters etc, etc, but somewhat i was attracted by this great person, i am still figuring out what's that magnetism that attracted me in her. I started collecting her cine songs as well as her bhajans, trust me, her voice was mesmerizing. Just listen to her "Kurai ondrum illa marai moorthy kanna ..." song in a music system, you will be taken to a new world.

I should admit the fact that i was attracted towards that genius not for her songs, but for her looks. In tamil we would call "Pazhutha Sumangali", this term will be used for a women who lives with her husband for decades and she is a perfect example for that. Her beautiful kunkum on the forehead, her 2 sided nose studs, that wonderful silk saree she wores, a nice flower garland on her head, when you look at her in such an attire, automatically your hands will unite and you feel like seeing GOD in front of you. She had that tejus on her face which lasted till she died.

Her voice is GOD's gift and she herself is a GOD's gift to us. I still remember the day she died (11th December 2004), it was a very dry season and you cannot expect even a drop of rain, but on the day she died, even the nature cired, all of a sudden it started to pour in Chennai and it was something great, i think even GOD could not control his emotions, hence he cried. Her absence has created a big void in the world CARNATIC music and i dont think anyone can fill in that space. I just thought of remembering her on her 3rd death anniversary, and hence i dedicate this section to that great LEGEND

Well, I dont think i need to give an explanation on the above mentioned subject, as this term is widely known to all south indian youths, well for the sake of "Dummies" who (still) does not know what this mean, here is a brief definition of the term - Kadalai means groundnut in english and this term is normally quoted under the context where a guy talks to a girl for a longer period of time on a subject which is (all the times) not at all relevant to the situation, environment or the individual. So here we are going to see a typical kinda conversation between a guy and a girl, just to understand how to follow this technique to cover a figure. CAUTION: Over dosage of Kadalai Podaradhu can be harmful to any relationship, so reduce the dosage as accordingly. Here we go ...

Raman is a retired Army man and also a widower. His sons are all well settled in the US and are earning a good amount of money. Raman never expected their money to win his bread, he has planned his future very well and hence he lives on his own finance. At the age of 60, Raman has no big recreations in life, and also his sons are too busy even to talk to him and all he gets is an occasional email. Raman does not want to burry himself inside the feeling of "loneliness"; he decided to do something which makes his soul happy. Its not that he is searching for a ticket to "moksha" by doing something good, he just wanted to make a difference in others life and also to give a meaning for his life ... He is not physically fit to do any social activities which may demand running between pillar to post and making things to happen. Raman is a very good singer and also a good dancer. He wanted to do something with his skills. He quickly flipped through the directory and then fo…

A sailor in this rough sea called life, who is rowing with all the strength given to him by the lighthouse called GOD. He is one of GOD's blessed child and he does not deserve to be this happy in life. His way of thanking GOD is to make others happy and if he can bring a smile on his reader's face, he treats that as victory.
